I've been chewing on a series called "The Big Book of..." From some time ago and enjoying it. Urban legends,unexplained, bad people...fun stuff with a slew of talent. Each book is as couple hundred pages and packed with b&w love.

I love those. Got 3 or 4 of them from a Borders that was closing. I wanna say they were marked down to $3 each.

This comic rocks! Just started reading it and now get it why the series goes for big bucks on ebay. Guts is a hero worth following (for better or worse).

I was in a used bookstore yesterday and came across 5 bound volumes of Batman by Doug Moench . It contains Batman 360-400 plus an annual, Detective 528-566 and a couple of LODK's that he wrote. At $15 each they were a steal and should be fun to read.

Were they custom binds? I want to get my Marvel 2 in 1,ROM and Defenders runs bound soon.

Been reading the Boom Studios Darkwing Duck series this weekend. Was kind of shocked at how good it is.

Yes they were. It was done by a company in Texas. The only other thing that jumped out at me was that the books were glued in, not sown.
I picked up a bound volume on ebay earlier this year that was sown in and liked that one too.

The company I wanted to use I think was based in Texas,Library Binding was the name. But I heard they stopped doing one off jobs. I would much rather have sown in.

Last night I read the first issue (came out last week) of a 4 part mini-series from a small Spanish publisher - Amigo Comics. Roman Ritual kicks off with a gruesome murder in the Vatican. A controversial, self-exiled priest, considered the most powerful exorcist, is recalled to confront the evil. This one was great, there's a genuinely subversive event in here that would probably generate some real heat if this was from a larger publisher. The art was pretty cool too. Looking forward to the next issue.

Liberty Meadows

I had heard of this comic strip for years. Then a few years back at a antique mall I found 20 of the 37 issues fairly cheap. I think they were 2 bucks an issue. But I didn't want to read it until I got every issue.3 days ago I got the last issue I needed. Sat down and in 3 evenings read all 37 issues plus the wedding album special.

Damn this is great. I do enjoy Cho's art on the various Marvel and indy stuff he has done since issue 37 came out. But I really hope we get more Liberty Meadows. Now I need to find a copy of the University Squared trade.

Also finally read Arkham Woods written by Christopher Rowley art by Jhomar Soriano. This is American made manga. I found it at Dollar Tree and for a buck I will try most comics. It is the comic version of those supernatural romance novels that flooded bookstores after Twilight was a hit. But this has a major Lovecraftian feel. Since it was at Dollar Tree I figured it would be pg-13 at the hardest. But this is much closer to a Hard-R film.

Borrowed the first issue of the new Sabrina the witch series from Archie. I love the Dark Shadows feel this has. With this and Afterlife with Archie they are quickly becoming one of my fave companies.

Just picked up a couple of the large GOTHAM CENTRAL trade paperbacks and am starting on those.

Old Hulks. Silver Age through 80s. Pouring through them for the first time in 20 years or more. I'd forgotten how much I loved the Hulk. That was the one superhero book I always seemed to go back to and like the most.

Anarchy Comics, an underground/alternative or whatever publication from the late '70s with some damn funny material in it. Overtly political at times, but a worth-it read.
